Holy Bible

¹A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say, ²if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us, ³then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us, ⁴then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul. ⁵Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. ⁶Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. ⁷Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. ⁸Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.
